That’s good to know. I never realized what a line of products they had, until I wrote this post about Vicks. We steer clear of SLS’s here too.

Thanks for posting how it’s worked for you!

I use their baby diaper cream and I haven’t had any problems on my kids. Even with their super-sensitive allergies to most household cleaning agents (like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.)

Definitely worth checking out.

I hope you’re feeling better tonight! This remedy has worked for us every single time (and we’ve done it plenty). I just used it again a week ago…tried to tough it out but was coughing what seemed like every 10 seconds in bed…put the Vicks (we’ve actually switched to using Unkers) on my feet and I didn’t cough again period. So amazing how well it works. We do slather on a thick layer though. Maybe that would make a difference. Hopefully you won’t need anything to help you sleep w/o coughing tonight though!

So, I just heard about this last night from my mother after once again getting sick and having a horrible cough making it impossible to sleep through the night. The cough syrup I had wasn’t working. The Mucinex I had, I think made the congestion worse (it was draining, running, now it’s all dried and stuck). Just miserable. So, I tried it. It didn’t completely stop the coughing, and their were still some coughing fits after putting it on and this morning, but less than what I had been dealing with for two days. Granted I didn’t put a very thick layer on. I’d say still undetermined.

Tom, thanks so much for taking time to share how it worked positively for you! It’s such a helpful trick to have up your sleeve. Sounds like you’ve really been through the bugs, argh! Hope you find relief soon from your bronchitis. We’re trying out some herbal remedies for bronchitis for my mom this week, and so far, they’re working really well to break up her congestion. So we know what you’re going through.

Godspeed to good health, friend!

I have just gotten over the flu and as a result got acute bronchititus. That hacking cough, phlegm and wheezing. I could not sleep at night for the coughing. Well this friend of mine suggested that putting Vick vapor rub on the soles of my feet and covering them in socks before I went to bed would help. After trying everything else last night in desparation I tried the Vicks (actually Walgreens brand). It is amazing, it worked instantaly. However the moment I got up this morning the cough is back. I don’t care what nay-sayers might say, I am here to tell you it worked for me. By the way, going to the doctors this afternoon for something for the bronchititus.

Your neighbor’s lemons sound delicious! And I’m very intrigued by a pit greenhouse, no wonder you want to do a field trip there…I can see I need to recruit vacation ideas from you of things to see here in our area next time we talk! I think we’ll be sticking close to home next summer…

Fascinating and useful info about HP!! So it’s better than coffee when you need to get things done, huh? I’ve got to try that as a bath soak. Of course, I don’t have the concentrated stuff yet. It sounds like something to stock up on…
